 Leaving Imprints - Henrietta Seredy
'At night when I can't sleep I imagine myself on the island.'
But Jessica is alont in a flat by a park. As the story moves between present and past, gradually Jessica reveals the truth behind the compelling
relationship that has dominated her life. The strands of this startlingly original novel are woven so skilfully that the reader is kept guessing to
the very last line.
'It is compelling in its description of a fiercely tight relationship between an inseparable brother and sister. Leaving Imprints is full of powerful events and emotions, with images from past and present carefully interwoven.' - Philippa Logan, Oxford Times
'With restrained lyricism, Leaving Imprints explores a destructive, passionate relationship
between two damaged people. Its quiet intensity does indeed leave imprints. I shall not
forget this novel' - Sue Gee
'Beautifully written . . . an unusual and memorable novel' - Charles Palliser, author of The Quincunx
'An electrically written tale of hurt and damage... there is hunger for life that rips through it that is truly energising and shocking' - Sheila Mulhern, Mslexia
